No, they don't, if what you mean is "Do dogs understand English" for example. It may seem so, but what happens often is that dogs train US to do their bidding, so it appears that some kind of mental/verbal communication is going on. Dogs understand our behaviors (body language) on some level, and they respond to our rewards and other behaviors in predictable ways. I'm not dissing dogs, or claiming that they have no 'feelings'. I LOVE dogs. But training dogs involves much much more than our incorrect ideas about their understanding of our speech. Watch the Dog Whisperer. One of the best programs on TV.
